Munguia was recently considered for a possible replacement challenger to Gennady Golovkin after Canelo Alvarez was forced to withdraw from the May 5 bout. However, the Nevada State Athletic Commission rejected Munguia because of inexperience and the fact he’d be stepping up in weight.

Ali won the junior middleweight title in his last bout back in December, an upset of a decision victory over Miguel Cotto in Cotto’s retirement bout.
